A couple months back I was out at Cherry Creek Reservoir shooting the sunrise and as I was leaving, I noticed this little Bunny who kept following me. He would keep trailing me and then stop whenever I turned around. Having my tripod in my arms, my gear bag around my shoulder and my camera slung around my neck, I kind of wondered if I would be able to get back to the car in time to switch out lenses and snap a few shots of him....a 28mm f2.8 prime doesn't work real well for wildlife lol Luckily he kept following me and kept doing the same exact thing! Long enough to let me bolt on my Minolta 75-300mm and get some shots off. So figured I would share with ya all this am.

This is scary. I remember a show a while back where these little guys would attack and go right for the throat. You were lucky to get out alive with this image. :biggrin:

Really nice image. The lighting is great.

Run away, run away, run away!! :biggrin:

Agree with Rand - very nice light here. Bummer about the branches being so prominent, but at least you have a clear view of the eye(s).
